If you have any comments please e-mail me.

Hope you like it and enjoy using it.

This panel has the look and feel of a F-16 Falcon instrument panel & this panel is not intended to be an accurate reproduction of a true F-16 Falcon cockpit. This cockpit is highly detailed and the BMP's are as close to the real aircraft as I could do with the pictures that I could locate on the web. Panel has been tested in CFS2 and has not been tested in FS2000. When and where possible the use of gauges as accurate to the real aircraft have been used. The Gauges are as close as is possible with the existing gauges that I could locate on the web. There is a choice of HUD colors- red or green. This panel has internal cockpit views totaling 8 different views.

Please read the credits because this panel wouldn't be available without the work and the dedication of many other people that design and make the wonderful variety of gauges.

CREDITS:

Please do not feel offended if I don't mention you here. This panel was a creation of allot of very talented gauge makers that I unfortunately don't know the all the identities of.

I apologize in advance for not contacting all those whom put such hard work,dedication and true artistry into their craft of gauge making. I couldn't locate most of the original makers.

Thanks to all of you. I have attempted to contact several and have received no response to the question of getting permission to use their gauges. I assume by the lack of response that this is their way of giving permission for the use of their gauges.

INSTALLATION:
************

1.- Unzip the gauges.zip files into your CFS2 gauges directory.
I decided to leave THE ORIGINAL GAUGE NAMES OF THE Major GAUGES IN THE ZIP FILE, as I didn't know all the people who had designed them, so if you see one of your gauges please e-mail me.

2.- In CFS2 F-16 Falcon aircraft subdirectory, make a folder called Panel.
Put the bmp's and panel.cfg there.

Or you can simply put the .bmp files and panel.cfg right into the panel folder of your preferred aircraft.

This panel works in most resolutions, though I have been able to test the panel in 3Dfx using a Voodoo 5500 card, I do not know if it will work with any other type of 3d accelerator.


LEGAL STUFF:
************

This panel is FREEWARE, please don't ask for money, or publish it in a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.If you want to use some parts of the panel in freeware panels feel free to use my bmp file and cfg file, but for the others please contact the respective authors first.
